Some people ask, Why onions, Ted?Why not some other flavored bread?Why must your favor just be foundin bagels with bulbs from the ground?To such as these I turn and sneerthen slice their throats from ear to earI’ve no time for naïvetéAnd my name’s Andy, anyway

O Poppy! My Poppy! The one who gave me life!You guide me with a wisdom sharp as a serrated knifeI’m molded in the image that you rolled me in beforeIf I could be like you one day I would not ask for moreBut O! Lo! Poppy, no!Such daggers through my heart!They say I’ll never fill your shoesFor I taste much too tartO Poppy! My Poppy! It’s time I face the truthMy crust will never strike like yours upon a waiting toothThough I’m your seed I must concede I have none of my ownI waver from your flavor and can never be your cloneYet Pop! O! This I’ll let goWithout one curse or damnI’ll love the onions out of meAnd be proud of who I am
